It doesn't need to be open source in order to use it. It's a plugin. You use the DLLs and they allow you access to new commands.

You would think that since it is a TGC product, Lee would use it. Then again, it would require him to either make the necessary commands free for use in an update or require modders to get DarkNet.

Looks like this is a job for a modder with a bit of spare change (or already had the product)

Well seeing as money has been made off Project Blue.. surely a bit of that could go towards features?

Not exactly, people do need to get paid (I'm not the only one that gets some $) and since I've taken it over only a few sales have been made.

I was wondering if it was possible to stop the player picking up objects in PB because I wanted some dynamic cardboard boxes in my level but the only problem is that you can pick them up.
Any help?

You are meaning using the right mouse to pickup an object, correct?

In the entity's properties- set IsImmobile to Yes. I have some WW2 crates that I could pick up with the right mouse button. When I set the IsImmobile to Yes, I can't pick them up.

When you set the IsImmobile to yes. It also does't interact with the enviroment. Like if the cardboard box can be pushed, it won't move when pushed. Correct me if im wrong tho.

That is true. It was the only way we knew to disable the ability to right-mouse-click to pick up a box or crate.

There is a command in the PB to allow/disallow player object pickup. Simply make a script that makes it enable/disable depending on how close/far away you are from the box.

You need to edit the character inside FPSC since this is changed in their settings and has nothing to do with PB. I cannot remember the exact spot but it is probably something with "weapon pickup" or "drops gun" (I'm on my work pc and can't test it here). Hope it helps.

I have found a fix for this. I was reading the manual and it said:
Make your game as normal making sure all character's have diffrent names.
All the characters in my game had the same name, I changed them, tested the game, shot someone, BOOM, I had a frag

@iKill:

Cute, very cute.

When "unemployed" is mentioned, it usually costs something. It's an offset to poverty you see.

I, for one, don't require the "experience" from making a Mod. Isn't that typically why people make textures/sounds/media for free? Because they are simply making them for the experience. If something they've made is truly great, they will (for the most part) charge for it. I also did not plan on dropping the Mod for any reason and had plans for continuous updates. Many Mods eventually die off and are discontinued. When "Plystire" is involved, you can bet that it will stick around for quite some time. If, at some point, it becomes discontinued, you can also bet that there is another, newer and better, place for you to go. People who had purchased Ply's Mod (discontinued) were brought to PB at no extra charge. Even the people who bought Horror Mod (discontinued) were brought to PB at no extra charge. If you find some fault in the way things are dealt, you may speak your thoughts here.


@Gun_Guy:

Yes, each character needs a different name. If multiple characters have the same name, they are considered to be on the same team and as such, share frags. You also cannot gain a frag by killing a teammate.

Would it be possible to have a condition in PB to detect when the player dies? Cause that would be very useful (I mean in multiplayer). Or in multiplayer when the player spawns. I know that you could detect the health the player has, but really its the spawning side to the script i was wondering about. Would it go like this:

Sorry if this has already been answered (I did do a check of the thread before posting), but are there any further system requirements when using Project Blue? I'm thinking of upgrading from Green to Blue and thought I should find out before making a purchase.

Thanks in advance!

@Arenas:

Something like that sounds like it may work.


@The Imperfect Sheep:

The system requirements remain the same, however, to appreciate as much of the features as possible in PB a stronger computer may be necessary. Turning off Full Screen Shaders and whatnot will definitely decrease the need for a powerful computer. More features means more power needed. However, without using those features, or using them in a minimal way, you won't need a very strong computer.

Yes, it does.

I am okay with the security system...Maybe we could incorporate a name-on-the-screen system...Or whenever you use it it is hardcoded to make a txt file with the name of the user...That would work, I guess.

@hockeykid:

If you would like to incorporate a username-on-screen based system for this, you'll want to hard-code the user's name into the compile... meaning you'll eventually be making lots and lots of compiles, but if it's of any help to you, I've made an auto-compiler system for this. You put every customer's name into a text file, run the auto-compiler and it will run through the list, changing the source to have each persons' name in the source and compiling it for that person. It will also put each compile into its own folder, all ready for zipping and distribution.

If you would like to have this program, then hit me up tomorrow or Wednesday. I will most likely be free those days and could get it for you.

Sounds good!

How will the name be shown?
-First seconds off opened game
-Permanently shown
-Splash screened at game startup
-Only test games

I would say to show it in all (even built games); then have a code that is for that copy only, disabling it for a built game. If that can be done.

Or how about it'll show up during test game only when you press the Pause/Break key on the keyboard. No body uses that key and it'd be a simple way of checking to see whose copy of the software it is.

I don't think it'd be wise to have it show up during a built game, though.... we'll see. Might be something to use for double-checking ownership when a game is released, but I don't think people using PB want their name showing up on-screen if they release to people outside of the community.

No; I agree, there shouldn't be the name on a built game that's set for distribution...if anything it looks unprofessional.

Why not make Project Blue online activation only.

If the same serial key is used more than once it is automatically blocked. Also you could probably make it so the server can see what IP address is trying to activate the software.

The only thing I wouldn't want to see is something like Steam where you can only access the Source engine development tools when online and logged into Steam. Thats just anal.

I would like the forum name(s) of the people involved in this recent piracy to be published to serve as a warning to everyone else thinking of doing the same.

As far as I'm concerned add whatever security measures to PB that will prevent such a thing happening again.

Maybe you can hardcode it to create a txt file or something when you use it that will show the user's name? And it redoes it every time, so that if you get a hold of the pirated copy you can figure it out...And such.

I have been using pb 1.7 for a fair while now, And i have not had any problems with lag. If there is a lag problem its normally because some peoples computer or video card cant handle some of the functions it provides. It all depends on the user/computer.
